They (almost) always start with bickering and end with happy coupling. If you had to live inside one of these movies, which would it be? And which of the sparring partners would you most want to fall madly in love with (as soon as you were done fighting)? Tell us all in the comments.

Having recently caught a bit of My Best Friend's Wedding, and remembering how cracked and wonderful that movie is, I'm going with that one. I'm afraid I'd have to fall in love with Rupert Everett, though I really want to be one of the sisters with the giant hats.

Bringing Up Baby. And of course I'd be the madcap, motormouth heiress Susan Vance falling for the nerdy, yet still suave and sexy Dr. David Huxley. Oh, what I would give just to say "Daaavid" exactly like Hepburn does in that movie.

The first one that popped in my head was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but everyone is WAY too f*cked up to have a relationship with, so I'll go with my ultimate rom com, Lost in Translation and fall in love with Japan...JK...Scarlett (when she was still Scarlett and not that horrendous alien, ScarJo, that inhabited her body).

hmmm. not a big rom-com fan. (probably because it’s the prime territory of my nemesis, Ms. Bullock). I’ll go with a good old classic… 'THE MISFITS'.

I mean, I’d be surrounded by two of the most gorgeous, swoon-inducing men in the history of the cinema; CLARK GABLE and my beloved MONTY CLIFT. a bit of a re-write would be needed, huh, but i'd want to be Langland and fall in love with Perce (sorry Marilyn).

I'd fall in love with Paul Rudd in Role Models. When he has coffee with Elizabeth Banks and asks her "Where am I gonna find someone that hates all the same stuff as me?" and then proceeds to misquote Notting Hill at her, only to fall back on Ghostbusters. I can never believe that Elizabeth Banks isn't won over!

charade...to be able to verbally spar with such subtext and then get cary granthitch...to get will smith to chase after me would be fantasticbarefoot in the park...oh, redford!the original mr & mrs smith...to be as fabulous as carole lombard and land robert montgomery16 candles...who didn't want him to show up at your door?

a real guilty pleasure of mine. I wouldn't mind falling for Kate Beckinsale. Plus, the whole destiny/fate aspect is so magical. It would be alot of fun to live through the events as everything ties together to reunite the destined lovers.

ah, that sounds lovely....even if fate screws with two happy relationships to make one.

Sho Nuff said mine, it would be THE PRINCESS BRIDE, who doesn't want Cary Ewles in their house saying, "As you wish."?

If I can't do that, than I would love to be falling in love with Scarlet Johansen in LOST IN TRANSLATION, not only because she's beautiful, but because I sing better Kareoki than Bill Murray, plus I would get to whisper something mysterious and funny in her ear in the end.

I also fell in love with Charlize Theron in THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE, so if I was Will Smith, I would stay, but would I have to choose between Charlize and Matt Damon? Am I bisexual?! Probably not, I'm allowed to love who ever I like, freely on screen.

Adam's Rib, Love Actually, While You Were Sleeping (sorry Ryan), Bridget Jones, Someone Like You (a real guilty pleasure with Hugh Jackman). I can feed him cold Chinese food in his boxer briefs anytime.

I don't know if this qualifies for a romantic comedy but I'll also include the 80's classic "Satisfaction". I can sing way better than Justine Bateman and I'd stay with Liam Neeson and never leave the beach.
